Adaptive Design Simplifies Success in Healthcare

There are 3 key steps to building an adaptive, innovative healthcare organization.

In 2-3 days, key decision-makers from the C-Suite to the frontline discover Adaptive Design by experiencing it in your institution — low cost, low risk, high reward and fast.

In three months, you adapt the success factors of Toyota, Apple and Amazon to develop a frontline healthcare Innovation Center. No consultants — your people make the difference.

Leadership and management validate, replicate and scale the success, trust, optimism and profitability you have proven you can deliver in 3-month cycles; low risk, high reward, fast.

Based on my Mayo Health System experience, I have one word for Dr. Kenagy's Adaptive Design—brilliant.

Dr. John Kenagy and Adaptive Design are truly expanding the possible for healthcare…greatly improving the quality of care while reducing its cost by 50% or more. I am not overstating this potential.
